t /all about my stupidity

now the migraine is back

Is it still here? Want to hand it back over to me? I should be heading home soon, after all.

mini-meara:

Apparently the effectiveness of flu shots declines dramatically with age. They're more than 80% effective in children, dropping down as far as the twenties for people in their 70s. Kind of interesting really.

Some suggest that the best thing for all would be to vaccinate all children, then hope for herd immunity for the rest.

How do people feel about cranberry relish? I always make it by grinding cranberries coarsely with oranges, peels and all and just enough sugar to take the edge off.

We do this, but add concentrated orange juice instead of sugar. And we grind up some apples in with the cranberries and orange. And if possible, we use lingonberries (low-bush cranberries for Alaskans) that we've picked instead of commercial cranberries, because they're sooooo much better.

When I got to the bottom I realized why. Black licorice! WTF?

This is just wrong in so very many ways.

The BBC will tell you how smart you are

My best score was in math, my worst possible subject. Go figure.

AHA! Thank you. I've been wondering what the hell lingonberries are for years. Not enough to, you know, go look or anything, but still. Cool.

Lingonberry preserves are good.

Oh sure. I say yes, and the next thing I know msbelle is at my door with her wee fists of fury.

eta: Oh, ugh, Betsy. That's the last thing you need.

Anyone heard about this:

Showing no gender partiality, Disney, New Line and Universal on Tuesday sued an Oregon woman, Chasity (sic) McCarthy, charging that she used peer-to-peer software to download their movies, National Treasure, Elf, and Meet the Fockers. Previous announced lawsuits by Hollywood's studios have named only men. The Associated Press reported that a second suit was filed Tuesday in Denver federal court, but no details were provided.

Was she torrenting?

lingonberries

I read that as lingamberries. Will blame it on low blood sugar, and chug some Gatorade.

See? Fun!
